| I like the way this is looking but it needs more drama. |

When you expose, try and get details in all parts of the photo unless you're deliberately going for some effect. In your image processing software, you can make the darker bits lighter and vice versa.
In this kind of shot, if you try to get details in the trees, you might easily end up blowing out the sky. There are a number of ways around this problem. The easiest (not DPC-safe) is to put your camera on a tripod and take the exact same shot twice at different exposure settings, one that gets details in the trees (a longer exposure time) and a shorter time for the sky. Then, blend the two images together in your computer. Another method is to buy a split-density filter. This tool has a darker top which cuts out the light at the top only and allows for a longer exposure. |
